Two temperature formulas are used in the calculation of the PET value:

  • The atmospheric temperature Ta
  • The wet-bulb temperature[1] Tw

Atmospheric Temperature formula

where

  • is the calculated atmospheric temperature at time t;
  • is the temperature measured at a weather station at time t;
  • is the calculated Urban Heat Island effect at time t;
  • is the sun daily motion factor at time t;

Wet-bulb Temperature formula

where:

  • is the calculated wet-bulb temperature;
  • is the calculated atmospheric temperature;
  • is the sun altitude angle;
  • Constant values are sourced from the DPRA Heat stress report;
